There's far too much great info about this year's H Street Festival to include it all in one post, so we'll try to keep up and get you the highlights over a series of posts this week. The Festival is this Saturday, September 17, beginning at noon. It runs from 8th out to 14th Streets, though businesses along the entire corridor will be participating. How to get there?

There will be bike racks at both ends of the Festival at 8th & 14th Streets. There's also a FREE Circulator bus running from Eastern Market metro. So if you don't live close enough to walk, bike or take the Circulator from Eastern Market.

What exciting food & drink specials will there be? Lots. There will be tons of them from all your H Street favorites and some H Street coming soons, but one fun one is a speciality brew from DC's first local craft brewery, DC Brau. DC Brau makes a handful of great craft beers just east of H Street on Bladensburg Rd & is offering an Atlas FestBier, which will be available all afternoon at Little Miss Whiskey's (1104 H St). Here's how they describe the special release brew:

Oktoberfest is here, and we have something spezial! AtlasFestBier is our seasonal offering of a traditional German-style Spezial Helles, brewed only for Fall. Ours will be released just in time for the 2011 H St. Festival.For more information on this tasty limited-release brew, check out the Our Brau page.

Speaking of the H St. Festival, we will have the AtlasFestBier Spezial Helles during the Festival, at Little Miss Whiskey's Golden Dollar @ 1104 H St., from 1pm - 7pm. Brandon and Jeff will have a booth out in front.To make ths AtlasFestBier extra-spezial, we only brewed one batch of this for the Festival... and this is your last chance to try some of this exremely-limited release
